Nine pokemon designed. I apologize is those who are androgynous aren’t. I like there designs. Since the first two were the same pokemon i made them siblings :).
Masaaki Iwane drew Lance today. I’m not particularly interested in a potential battle with him when Iris, Alain, and Cynthia are in the running. I’m curious how they plan to handle the battles amongst the M8, however.
And some old art for Gates to Infinity via the UK Twitter for the 9th anniversary of the game over in Europe!
Tbh, the only thing I still vividly remember about this PMD was this:
‘Welcome to the Tower! (Or, perhaps goodbye?) Did you mean to arrive, or have you merely forgotten how to leave? Is this not so much a tower as an endless tilt of midnight sands? And how long HAVE you been a turnip? (If you don’t mind our asking?) Master Daubenmire is the Final Challenge of Tresin City (and it is he (unless it isn’t). Weavers of warp and woof of reality, Daubenmire’s gang of illusionists, hypnotics, and mimics defy mind and matter and dance with a million faces. Captained by a particularly powerful pokemon of mirages (illusions (delusions)), you’ll find nothing as it seems in this fever dream.’
The last thing Morgan needs is six superpowered monster companions, but here we are.
And this is the last of these! THESE WERE FUN. Would do again. Anyone got requests for characters of mine they’d like to see given teams in the future?
Shapeshifter Daubenmire Specialty: Dark, Poison

Mephistopheles Zoroark | Quirky | Somewhat of a Clown Illusion | Facade | Black Glasses
A pokemon so rare it was thought no more than the dark pipe dream of alchemists who fell asleep with the bunsen burner on. The zoroark was found by a teenage Morgan in an ancient sphere amongst the belongings of a dead witch. The mysterious pokemon bonded with Morgan on sight, body and soul- granting the zoroark intelligence and speech and Morgan powers of illusion. Ownership of dark-type pokemon being banned under penalty of death, the pair fled the Morgan’s home country, beginning a new life of adventure and mischief. Despite ominous appearances, Meph and Morgan are jovial and fun-loving and share a protective, nurturing nature. Even when their actions are questionable, they do ultimately mean well, even if they’re telling you exactly the opposite.
Pooka Gengar (???) | Impish | Quick to Flee Cursed Body | Sucker Punch | Smoke Ball
Pooka is a troublemaker who gets its thrills from causing chills. It is aloof and lofty, above the rules of the mortal world. And… it is actually a deranged ditto in disguise. It is ashamed of its true nature and hides it at all times, only taking its natural pink chewing gum form when literally knocked unconscious. It shifts forms freely into any number of other pokemon, however, which onlookers chalk up to a gengar’s ghostly powers. For all that it loves frightening others, Pooka is a coward and refuses to fight fairly or out in the open. Too much damage causes it to lose its grip and appear ‘melty.’ When this happens, it vanishes with a final haunting grin.
Salazzle are interesting creatures. In nature, every salazzle is a queen, the master of a harem of subservient salandit males she commands with powerful pheromones. Mystique was poached by a circus and trained as an exotic fire dancer, using her chemicals to further excite the crowd. She was subsequently stolen, ahem, freedby Morgan’s gang to her delight. Mystique is…. a salazzle. Flirty and seductive. Hedonistic. She dives in worldly pleasures without reservation. Oh, heaven help you if you thought you’d bring any male pokemon with you to this fight. In the spinning flames and dizzying perfume you may find your own pokemon turning on you…
The other flirt on Morgan’s team. Mim is a goodra. Which is to say Mim is a giant toothless slime dragon that both eats and fights by engulfing and then dissolving victims in its own corrosive ooze. Goodra are 90% mucus and can slurp down into thick puddles to slip into places they ought not. And landing meaningful punches is extra difficult as Mim’s vital organs can be anywhere at any time. That said, in a cruel twist of nature goodra are ULTRA friendly. Like, they literally have a meltdown when they’re left out or left alone. Unfortunately, their instinctive show of affection is to wrap other creatures into their bodies for safe keeping like they’d do with their own kind. So the team has to watch out for that. Bottom line: Mim is a disgusting goo monster who gleefully flaunts it. They are powerful, resilient, and adaptable, rounding out the team with a surprise arsenal of elemental attacks.
Loki Arbok | Bold | Proud of its Power Shed Skin | Glare | Black Sludge
What good are shadows if there’s nothing hiding in them? Loki is a twelve foot serpent from the back of a snake-phobic’s nightmares. Navigating pure darkness with sense of smell alone, she strikes silently from behind with unhingable jaws. Fighting face-to-face isn’t much easier… her piercing eyes can paralyze, while color-shifting scales inside her hood put on an entrancing display of ever-changing faces. Get distracted and get ensnared by crushing coils. Loki is vengeful and intelligent and not to be crossed.
Before you can face ringleader Mephistopheles, there’s one last pokemon you gotta hack your way through. Exploding from its pokeball comes Foust, an insane dragon only marginally kept in check by Meph and Morgan. Foust was born blind, constantly muttering to itself, even breaking out in one-sided fights and slamming its head into things. Upon evolution, the team realized in horror that Foust had been warring with a twin trapped inside its own body, that now erupted into a second head. Foust’s two sides HATED each other and many sleepless nights were spent stopping one head from gnawing off the other. Perhaps it was some thread of unity deep in its soul, or maybe just sheer self-preservation, but during its final evolution Foust tore open down the middle releasing one huge new head, while the two squabblers fell into a zombified silence forever. Gifted both sight and flight instantaneously, Faust ripped into a panicked rage and had to be beat down by its companions. Foust is a punishing force born of loss and fear, power and backlash. It is largely responsible for the team being wanted by every kingdom on the continent for years. Put it in its place and the team will silently thank you.

Who is who and who are you? Our advice? (Trust us.) As friend and foe blur together, the trainer who truly knows themself and their team will prevail! (Perhaps!)
